Last Thursday the Creativa Barcelona fair began. For those who don’t know what is it, Creativa is one of the most important
exhibitions of all types of craft materials, from sewing and patchwork to
scrapbooking and decoupage. They started settling in Spain about three or four
years ago, and it has become very important and popular in all the cities which
is placed as the handmade world is so trendy right now. Although every year
there are more expositors and the fair is extending its surface, I think that
the dimension of the space where is placed isn’t proportional to the amount of
people that is visiting the market, so you can imagine how crowded usually is...

So this year I went there the first
day, and above all because this was a special year! If you follow me on
Facebook and Instagram you’ve already seen that I’ve sewn some things for Nanuk®.
Do you know their product? They made thermo fusible fabric sheets with super
cute designs and collections to apply to all types of projects, both clothing
and scrapbooking.

It’s been a while since we started
to speak about some ways to collaborate each other, and as they were going to
put a stand in the fair this year, I prepare some kid's products using their applications for exposing them at the stand as
a way to give some ideas to the public. So these are some of them!

Perdoneu la mala qualitat de les imatges... vaig haver de fer les fotos amb el mòbil...Apologies for the bad quality of the images... I took the photos with my phone...

We also prepared kits for the cube -
rattle and the mobile. And they were so successful! Thanks so much to those who
purchased them. I hope you show me your creations soon (you can send photos to
aikamaku@gmail.com or through the Facebook page and I’ll post them on the
blog!) :D And if you couldn’t go to Creativa
this year don’t worry, at Nanuk’ online shop you can also buy them :)

My name is Aida, and I've created AikaMaku a few years ago, a brand that was born from the small creations that I've been making. Objects and personalized complements that I design and made with enthusiasm and love.

In Finnish "aika maku" means "time to enjoy", and that's how I feel when I sew. Thanks for stopping by!
